Prior to the gala, a Patron Party will be held
on Saturday, March 12 at 10:30 a.m. during the
KidzAct Showcase Weekend. Students ages 4 to 18
will perform for 30 minutes, and afterward guests
will enjoy lunch prepared by Chef Brian Roland

exclusively to patrons at the Trulucks’ valet drive-
through with a parking pass as the St. Patrick’s Day
Parade will be that morning.

The gala three years ago raised $500,000 for the
Naples Players and KidzAct, which made a huge
difference to the organization.

“We will not turn away any child for want of funds,
and the gala is the means by which we can keep our
many opportunities open for these young theater
enthusiasts, says Megan McCombs, KidzAct Director.
“We are so grateful for this support so we can keep
producing quality arts education for our kids.”
